I see so many new users bypassing the 30 characters rule by doing 30 characters or one of the many other methods for this and its incredibly annoying… (but also very relaxing to report them all!)
Examples (Im not trying to attack anyone!):
The 30 characters rule is there for a reason, to make discussion more lively and less spammy.
Dont ever do “Yes that I want! 30300303 charsswss”, that will most likely get you reported by people like me for bypassing the 30 characters rule. Please, extend your message! Provide more context, provide specific details or you know… just LIKE THE POST??
I also agree with this issue because this issue doesn’t give what should you improve and 30 characters also can be found in #help-and-feedback:cool-creations, #collaboration: portfolios and also other topics that related that 30 characters. So I suggest we should put a limit on 30 characters so that no one gonna spams a reply on your topic.
There already is a limit for 30 characters, however people bypass it and its really annoying, (and a great stress reliever going through and reporting them all!)
Yes thats what I do alot, however that all relies on users taking the step to report the messages and not every user knows to do that. A community message from staff in announcements or wherever just to let people know would be great.
@DirectCode
There legit is no need for having any post below 30 characters, you can surly expand the message or just leave a like on the post if your saying something basic like “Thanks!”.
Community announcement would defiantly let a lot more people know not to do this. Its not the fact that people dont know how to report, they just dont report because they think its fine and does not break any rules.
Lets face it, probably a good chunk of people here skimmed through the rules and forgot it right away (as goes with most rules).
I’ve definitely done this a couple of times and I’ve stopped now I do agree with you but some times you do need to tell someone, “No this doesn’t work,” etc.
Then expand on that and say why it does not work, if there are there any errors, did you follow exactly what they said? The purpose of this rule is to stop low effort posts that have 2 seconds of effort put in.
